I would highly recommend a 6800 over that. The X800 series plain sucks in games that are not optimized in the drivers, and can barely do OpenGL games such as Doom 3 and Quake 4. Also, there is no Shader Model 3.0 which provides a performance boost plus some extra eye candy in newer games. Go with a 6800 GT which is not really much more than that. Go 6800 vanilla at bare minimum. I can't believe so many people here are recommending this card, because It does indeed suck.
